More space for watchmakers - A. Lange & Söhne expands its premises in Glashütte

Glashütte, September 2012

The ground-breaking ceremony on 5 September marked the start of construction on the Manufaktur’s new annex. The new building provides more than 11,000 square metres of additional space for more improved processes.

The global demand for A. Lange & Söhne's exquisite timepieces is constantly growing. Accordingly, the successful Saxon watch brand has constantly expanded in the past years. It is the largest employer in the town of Glashütte, providing jobs for more than 500 people. Their workshops are spread across several buildings. The new annex will accommodate the movement assembly departments and the machines for the production of the delicate movement components in a single complex. Lange CEO Wilhelm Schmid welcomes the start of the construction works: "The annex was long overdue. The new building will allow us to clearly improve production processes and working conditions."
